infinity Wow. I love it! All the synchs in your post OMJ and then with JJ. Now I'll add my synch...

I was just remembering yesterday a book I read years ago called "The Dice Man". Plot summary:

Quote
The book tells the story of a psychiatrist named Luke Rhinehart who, feeling bored and unfulfilled in life, starts making decisions about what to do based on a roll of a dice. Along the way, there is sex, rape, murder, "dice parties", breakouts by psychiatric patients, and various corporate and governmental machines being put into a spin.

Anyway, yesterday I found myself contemplating how much of life we should control or even if we have much control at all. And that if you rolled the dice or flipped a coin to see which decision to make at every moment, would life be worse or better...or just the same. And would it matter anyway since it's all what you make of it. This also synchs with the movie "Yes Man" where the character decides to always say "yes" to each question asked of him.

But more to the point of your question OMJ (and I agree with JJ, I like how your mind works), maybe you preconceived of the cops' approach and your higher-self prompted you to flip the coin just before the cops came for benefit of your conscious mind to trigger awareness? Or maybe your flipping the coin caused a chain of events, or flipped you into a reality in which those events unfolded just then.

No matter which, it seems to me that whether or not we can control what happens in reality, we have enormous power within ourselves to chose our actions, our view points and which reality we exist in.

But what do you think? Did you flipping the coin influence the subsequent events?
